In context

How MS Sharden compares

Every figure in this section is a count, a rank or a percentile over vessels actually held in this registry — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.

At 39,780 gross tons, MS Sharden is the 14,016th largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT, so this hull is about 6.6 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 58,086 vessels this registry holds no type classification for held here, it ranks 7,816th by tonnage — larger than 84% of that group. Their median tonnage is 5,358 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 54,309 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (5,698 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Mipo, with 615 hulls on record.

Italy is the country of registry for 918 vessels in this directory, of which MS Sharden is the 147th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (488 ships), and the median vessel measures 4,975 GT. Browse every ship flagged Italy.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 488 vessels this registry holds no type classification for flying the Italy flag, of which 59 are larger by tonnage.

MS Sharden was built in 2005, making it 21 years old. It is one of 1,690 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 12,046 GT; within it this ship is the 411th largest. Across the whole of the 2000s the registry holds 18,605 vessels, median 9,957 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

The registry attributes 226 vessels to Fincantieri, with a median tonnage of 54,655 GT, delivered between 1935 and 2026. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 214.0 m overall, MS Sharden is 99.0 m longer than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record, with a beam of 26.4 m and a draft of 6.9 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9305269 this registry holds 66 other vessels, whose median build year is 2005 and which range from 2004 to 2009. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2005.

Its IMO number, 9305269, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 3×6 + 0×5 + 5×4 + 2×3 + 6×2 = 119 — and the last digit of that total, 9, must equal the seventh digit, 9. It does, so this number is well formed.
